Le Klint

Handcrafted Lighting with a Danish Legacy

Le Klint is best known for its signature pleated lampshades, a design tradition that originated in Denmark and continues to be produced by hand. This folding technique creates a distinctive texture while allowing light to diffuse softly and evenly throughout a space.

Since its founding in the 1940s, the brand has worked with both classic and contemporary designers to expand its collection while preserving its core identity. The result is a range of lighting that feels both historic and relevant, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design sensibilities.

Materials such as paper, plastic foil, and carefully selected structural components are used to achieve durability while maintaining the delicate visual quality that defines Le Klint lighting.
